A Greenwood couple was startled to find a man in their house early Saturday morning - who they said told them he was sent there to scare them.

Melanie Gephart was the first to find 54-year-old Scottie Turner, Indianapolis, inside her house in the 4000 block of Tarry Lane at around 6:30 a.m., according to a probable cause affidavit. She told the Johnson County Sheriff's Office that she alerted her husband, Raymond Gephart, who then confronted Turner.
